Indiana seems to be prolific in masters of
parliamentary invective. Since Senator
Ben Hills death, Senator Voorhees, has had
the reputation among Democrats of inter
jecting the most irritating questions into
his speeches and of tearing to shreds the
arguments of his opponents. Mr. Blaine
pronounced him "the hardest hitter among
the opposition" and Mr.. Conkling and Mr.
Edmunds admitted his strength as an "all-
round" debater, while Mr.. ingalls, attacked
him with more caution than he generally
displays in bouncing upon victim. But
the new Senator from Indiana. Dir. Turpie,
is said to tower over him intellectually, and
to equal any member of tine Senate in
vitriolic oratory.

Prohibition Constitutional.

The opponents of prohibition got no salts
faction from the United States Supreme
Court. They thought they could have pro-
hibition laws declared unconstitutional. If
they had succeeded the prohibition fight
would have come to an end at once.
A couple of cases in which the constitu-
tionality of the Kansas prohibition law was
questioned was decided by the Supreme
Court on Monday. A synopsis of the de-
cision appeared in our dispatches yesterday
The Anti-Prohibitionists asked that the law
be declared unconstitutional because it
limited the rights of citizen and because it
destroyed a citizens property without offer
ing him any compensation for his loss.
The restriction of a citizens liberty, it
was explained, consisted in preventing him
from manufacturing whisky or beer for
himself or any one else, and the destruction
of property consisted in rendering a brew
cry valueless.
The court said that it had always been
held that the State had right to determine
what was injurious to its citizens and to
place restrictions upon that which was
damaging to them or hurtful to public
morals. There was no question that intoxi-
cants were harmful because the abuse of
them was productive of pauperism and
crime
With regard to distilleries and breweries
the State has the right to abate them as
nuisances. The ownership of the property
remains unchanged, but the State has the
right to say that it shall not be used for
purposes which it regards as harmful
The constitutionality of prohibition legis-
lation being upheld by the highest court in
the country, it is not improbable that pro-
hibition will become more popular than
ever

Collar Characteristics.

The linen collar exercises a subtle influence

of clearly expressed character in collars; and

outward signs of negligence or studied care

ready exemplifcation in this tell-tale garment

Nothing Like Lemons.

Every part of the tree is valuable in
medicine, though We rarely employ any
OF 1T but its fruit-that is tho lemon
itself. And every one knows knows how
to employ this i'll lemonade: To
squeeze the juice into cold water (this is
the shortest way or to cut it into slices
and let soak in cold water, cut it into
slices and then boil it. Either way is
good. Lemonade is one of the best and
safest drinks for any person, whether in
health or not. 1t is suitable to all
stomach diseases, is excellent in sickness
in cases OF iaundice, gravel, liver COM
plants, inflammation of tho bowels and
fevers. 1t is specific against worms
and skin complaints. The pippins
crushed, may also be mixed with water
and sugar and usod as n drink. Lemon
juice is the best anti-scorbutic remedy
known. not only cures the disease,
but prevents it, Sailors make a daily
use of it for this purpose. A physician
suggests rubbing on the gums daily
with lemon Juice to keep them in health.
The hands and nails are also kept clean,
white, soft and supple by tho daily use
of lemon instead of soap. 1t also pre-.
vents chillbains. Lemon is used in in
termittent fovers, mixed with strong,
hot, black tea or coffee, without sugar.
Neuralgia may be cured by rubbing the
part affected with lemon. 1t is valu-
able also to cure warts, and to destroy
dandruff on the head, by rubbing the
root OF tho hair with it. In fact, its uses
are manifold, and the more we employ
it externally the better we find ourselves.
Natural remedies are the best, and ma
ture is our best doctor, if we would only
listen to he teaching. Rub your hands,
head and gums with it, and drink lemon
ade in preference to all other liquids. -

Boys as Invctitors.


Some of the most important inYcn-
tionS have been the work of mere boys.
The invention Of the valve motion to the
steam engine was made by boy. Watt
left the engine in very incomplete con
to open or close the valves except by
means of levers operated by hand. He
set up large engine at one Of the mines,
and n boy was hired TO work these valve
lovers. Although this was not hard
ton. AS he was working these levers he
right direction, and at tho exact time he
produced long, strong cord, and made
one end fast to the proper part Of the
engine and the other to the valve lever.
Then he had the satisfaction Of seeing
the engine move off with perfect rcgu.
larity of motion. A short time after
ward the foreman came around and saw
the boy playing marbles around the
door. Looking ut the engine he soon
saw the ingenuity Of the boy, and also
the advantage of SO great an invention.
MIR. Watt then carried out the boy 5 in
ycntive genius i'll practical form, and
made the steam engine q perfect auto
matte working machine. Tho power
loom is the invention of farmer boy
who had never seen or heard Of snch q
thing. He cut one out with his knife,
mnd after he had got it all done he, with
great enthusiasm, showed it to his faith
or, who at once kicked it to pieces, say.
ing he would bave no boy about him
who would spend his time on such lool-
ish things. The boy was afterwards ap-
prem ,ed to blacksmith, and he soon
founo that new master was kind and
took q ii,6ly Iterost III him. He made
n loom OF what was left OF the Que his
father had broken up, which he showed
to his master. The blacksmith saw that
he had no common boy for an apprcn-
tice, and that the invention was n rcry
valuable one. He Immediately had a
loom constructed under the supervision
of the boy. 1t worked to their perfect
satisfaction, and SO the blacksmith furn.
ished the means to manufacture the
looms, the boy to receive one half the
profits. In about year the blacksmith
wrote to the boys father that he should
visit him and bring with him wealthy
gentleman who was the inventor of the
celebrated power loom. You may be
able to Judge OF the astonishment OF the
old man when hi9 son was presented as
the inventor, who told him the loom was
the same as the model he (the father
had kicked to pieces year before.
Smaeton, the great mechanic, when a
boy, disdained the ordinary play things
Of boyhood. One day, after having
watched somo millwrignts, he was dis.
covered, to tho great distress of his
family, in a situation of extreme danger,
fixing window on the top of the barn.

THE SOUTH PROspERING.
What the MaDufacturer's Record says OF
the Development of the south.

The South has much diversified its
agricultural production since 1866. Total
production is increased thereby, the
variety of its products is extended, the
1oou supply Is much greater, less etten-
tlon Is PAD 70 cotton Us an exclusive
crop. In word, planting is giving way
to farming, to genuine agriculture; 80
the people come nearer to self-support.
Ii cotton should fail, other crops remain
to fall back on. Yet farming has not
kept abreast of the industrial advance in
advanced methods. Farms have not the
visible thrift and tidiness of Northern,
Middle and Western States. A great
deal has been done to show the possibil-
ties OF the region for farming in the
Northern way to Northern farmers; and
inquiry by the latter class is widely ex-
tending. This year the cotton crop, as
well rs others, is above the average in all

richly rewarded by farming in the South

There arc very great possibilities In

making them up into the articles which
the large variety of the woods fit them
for. The finest hardwoods in the United
States in large quan tiles are in the up
lands of the South at this time in the
states from West Virginia to Alabama.
And immense tracts of pine and other
soft woods remain uncut Some forests
